STOCK-WATEBING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

Application filed February 25, 1918. Serial No. 219,057.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST S. JOHNSON, a

=citize of the Unit H States of America, and afident of Webster City, Hamilton 0 ity, Iowa, have invented certain new grid useful Improvements in Stock-Waterin Devices, of which the following is 9. sp cification.

[My invention relates to improvements in stock watering devices, and the object of my is to furnish a simple, convenient watering tank and holder, provided with removable drinking chambers for a plurality of stock, and to emit water to be warmed l-ll the tan; (i the chambers, permitting cleaning bers at any time. This object I have vertical longitudinal medial section of the same; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the device, with the cover, the tank and one of the chamher-hoods removed; Fig. 4 1s a perspective view of the tank, showin its delivery device partially broken away; iig. 5 is a perspective view of the receptacle, and Fig. 6 IS a pore ective View of one of the chamberhoo s.

Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The numeral 1 denotes lar casing, provided with 2 closing its open top. In one end of the casing is a door-opening 18 havin at the sides guides 17 to receive the side e ges of a slide 3. Both the cover 2 and the slide 3 have ventilating orifices 16 and 15 respectively. A lamp, as indicated in Fig. ,1, may be introduced into the casing through said doorway to rest on the bottom plate thereof to warm the contents of the drinkin chambers and the supply-tank above. e bot tom late of the casing has orifices 19 to permit rainage.

eferring now to Fig. 1, the numeral 4 denotes a rectangular opening, there being such 0 enings on opposite sides ofsaid casshallow open top pan or receptacle 5 is positioned across the interior'of the easing, and has its end ed es 24 inverted and fitted removably over t e lower edges of a hollow rectangua removable cover said openings to su port said receptacle suspensively. Each end of said receptacle, within said ca g, is partially inclosed by a chamher-h 03%, of the form shown in said Fig. 6, having its lower rectangular end dipped within the'receptacle part way therethrough, each hood having inverted edge parts 20 and 21 which pass through the opening 4 to engage the outer surface of the casing to hold the hood in position. On the inner face of each end-wall of the caslng 1s fixed a i porting-bar 7 on whose middle is a U-shaped caring 8 to detachably receive the outwardly projected ends or intles of a cylindrical axis 9 fixed axially through a cylindrical suppl -tank or vessel 10. This tank 10 is im er orate except for some orifices 14 place in alinement longitudinally near together on the lower side of the tank, and which serve as receiving-ports for water when the oliices are uppermost, and as delivery-ports for the water when the tank is inverted to the position shown. ing these orifices is a against the tank at the bottom partially closed at 12, an raised wall 13, which, however extends onl part way toward the ta k. W k 10 is placed inverted after in the casin to have its pintles rest in the e boxing 11 extends part way down into the receptacle 5 midway between to hold the tank The inclosed spaces in the receptacle 5 at its ends, serve as drinking chambers for animals, who drink through th and the drinking chambers are kept supplied by the tank 10, since the water-level 1n the receptacle is determined water from the tank b way 11 as governed by the limiting wall 13 the depending lower. end of said boxing within said receptacle. 'It will be seen that all the parts are readily assembled or disas} sembled for cleaning or repair, the device is compact, can be used by a plurality of animals at once, and the contents of the receptacle and tank kept warm in cold weather, by the lamp within the casing.

Since the tank 10 is rotatable upon its pintles 9, after the slide-pin 22 has been pushed in, and one of the hoods 6 have by the delivery of of the boxin been removed the tank may be rocked upwardly in order to place its boxing- 11 upermost, and then water may be introduced Warm air from the lamp 25 circ through the casing 1,' passing upwardly openings 15 and 16 about the tank 10 the in the casin 'pro r venti at1on.

l-lfving described my claim as new,and desire to secure by Patent, is:

1. In a stock watering having openings in opposite sides, an open top receptacle positioned across the interior of the casing from one opening to the other, and an inverted vessel having common receiving and delivery ports and having a endent chamber reoeivin from said ports and having a channel de ivering into said receptacle, including an elevated-part of vthe channel restricting the delivery therefrom, said chamber having art of its outer closure wall removed" and liaving a longitudinal ledge extendingas a' partial septum across it spaced from the vessel.

2. In a stock watering device, a casing having openings, an open top receptacle ositioned within said casing communicating with said openings and having end invention, what I Letters ulates an its cover permitting a device, a casing flanges hun detachably on the lower margins of sai openings,.hoods partially inclosing end parts of said receptacle removably in communication with both said openings and the rece tacle and removable outwardly by way 0 said openings, and a rotatable tank mounted in said casing above said. receptacle, and havipg a common receiving and delivery port apted to be used to fill the tank when rotated upwardly, and to deliver its contents into said receptacle when rotated downwardly.

8. In a stock watering device, a casing having 0 enmgs, an open top receptacle positione within said casin and communicating with said openings, oods partially inclosing end parts of said receptable re movable outwardly and bein in communication with said openings 9,11% said receptacle, and a tank rotatably mounted in the easing above said receptacle having a common receiving and delivery opening, and having a channeled boxing about said opening ex tending outwardly into said receptacle and between said hoods and limited in side movement by the latter, the hoods being removable .to permit the tank to be rotated upwardly to place said boxing upwardly with its channel and the tank-opening in a filling position.
